No, with the AU oil pan, you will need to modify the k-member for clearance. The AU will fit in all E- series with some grinding on the pan. :D


so with a combination of both it will fit? i was trying to avoid modifying the k-member

No. The AU block and oil pan are unique. The alloy AU oil pan has provision for cross-bolted main caps, so the earlier oil pan will not fit the AU block.

No. The E-series pan will not fit the AU block. The AU has cross bolted mains that go thru the sides of the alloy pan. Try and get an EL engine, will bolt straight into your ute, and just use your own manifolds, harness, ECU, etc.

Sorry if this is getting off the topic, but I need to know. I am doing an engine swap from '90 model EA CPI/4 speed auto to all ED MPFI/4 speed auto. I have the entire ED for parts, so I was going to swap EVERYTHING, looms, ecu, entire dash, steering column, engine and trans. Now what i'm not sure about is do I need to replace the fuel pump in the EA? The EA is a CPI wagon, and the ED is an MPFI sedan. Will the sedan pump fit in the wagon? Please let me know, I would like to put this all together this (long) weekend.
Cheers. :D

Fitting an AU engine into an EF, How many mm do I need to cut off the air conditioner spacers to get the belt to fit properly?
Using an EF compressor on AU block.
